I suppose a hundred-odd years ago boots were more commonly worn by those who would use the services of a bootblack/shoe shine. I think I would normally use the expression shoe shine boy or shoe shine girl (although in my experience here in Indonesia they usually are boys; I've never used the services of either in the UK).
